Born in Nanty Glo, February 26, 1935,
Dominic Covolo is a graduate of Nanty Glo High School in the class
of 1953 and the Williamsport Technical Institute, Williamsport. He
did service in the U.S. Army from 1954 to '57, doing his tour of duty
in France.

Dominic
has been married to Asheville, North Carolina, native, the former
Sallie Cornelia Miller, since January 26, 1962 and they are the parents
of three grown children and grandparents to six girls and one boy.
Employment as a machinist has taken Dominic from Cleveland, Ohio,
to San Jose, California. Retired since 2000, Dominic and Sallie now
reside in Galt, Ca., where he pursues his hobbies of fishing, houseboating,
hiking, and touring the country in his VW camper.

The son of a coalminer and grandson of
grocery store owner Franco Bendinelli, Dominic has fond memories of
hometown Nanty Glo. "What I miss most about Nanty Glo is the small
town atmosphere, where you knew almost everyone, and there were good
churches and schools, and good old-fashioned values."

TEACHER: Didn't you promise to behave?STUDENT: Yes, Sir.
TEACHER: And didn't I promise to punish you if you didn't?
STUDENT: Yes, Sir, but since I broke my promise, I don't expect you
to keep yours.

TEACHER: Tommy, why do you always get
so dirty?
TOMMY: Well, I'm a lot closer to the ground than you are.

When
prayers are not "answered"

The pastor calls his peole to pray. The
tide of feeling runs high and it looks for a while as if the [answer]
might be on the way. But it fails to arrive and the zeal for prayer
begins to flag. Soon the [people are] back where [they were] before
and a numb discouragement settles over everyone. What has gone wrong?
Simply this: Neither the leaders nor the people have made any effort
to obey the Word of God. They felt that their only weakness was failure
to pray, when actually in a score of ways they were falling short
in the vital matter of obedience!
